Welcome back!
Program year starts Sunday, September 6
This Sunday, September 6, we kick off a brand-new program year at St. Philip’s. From Sunday worship and formation to Wednesday nights to exploring the Season of Creation, there are so many ways to take part in the life of St. Philip’s this fall. Here’s what’s ahead:
Welcome Back Sunday – September 6
The Season of Creation begins – September 6 – October 4 – This season invites Christians to give thanks for the gift of creation, reflect on our relationship with the earth, and renew our call to care for it. This year’s theme is Living Water. To mark the season, bring a small sample of water from a creek, lake, pond, garden, rain barrel – even your kitchen tap. We’ll join our waters together as a reminder of the waters that sustain and connect us.
Sunday Forums are back – Join us at 10am on Sundays to explore topics that feed our faith and inform our curiosity.
Children’s and youth formation return – At 9:50 a.m. on Sundays, children (birth-5th grade) will meet on the 2nd floor and youth (6th-12th grade) will meet on the lower level.
